PERIODICALS AND BOOKS OF REFERENCE.

THE WOMAN JOURNALIST. (Sentinel House, South. ampton Row, W.C. 6d. net.) The first number of the new monthly magazine of the Society of Women Journalists has a helpful article on the type of literature to submit to the American market. A vocabu- lary of three American words is provided, and English writers are advised to cultivate " snappiness." " Stable " tips such as the article provides are invaluable to young journalists, and we hope that the Woman Journalist will Continue this feature. An analysis of the various grades of British news- papers and magazines, and of the type of work to send them, would be useful. For the rest, this magazine is parochial, enthusiastic, and formless.
